Shareaza.com Hijacked!
Popular p2p file sharing network Shareaza has been hijacked by a group calling themselves 'discordia'
the site no longer offers forums or any kind of community, and their client version 'v4'
is malware infected, and asks for fees (credit card harvesting)
meanwhile the original developers and community have taken temporary refuge at their
sourceforge site until discordia can be shut down,
rumoured to be a radical group of chaos-worshippers, discordia appear to have hijacked
file compression program 7zip as well,
people are being warned not to use the 'programs' being offered on these sites.
the original developers of Sharaza are strictly against the distribution of copyrighted media,
and spyware.
